Zome Workshop w/ Earth Alchemy
SPONSORED BY EMERALD ASCENT REGENERATIVE LIVING
Dec 12th-15th
At the core of Resilience is a safe place to call home.
A welcoming design that blends in with nature and can be built efficiently with non toxic or repurposed materials.
We are excited to welcome Devon Love of Earth Alchemy to Mandala Springs to teach our Community How to Build “Zomes”; a relatively simple yet elegant way to build.
This immersive experience focuses on practical, hands-on learning, equipping attendees with the skills to replicate this efficient design on their own. To honor the theme of resilience and affordability, we’ll use reclaimed and surplus materials; making this workshop an accessible and impactful model for participants.
While the focus will be on completing the exterior, we may begin interior work if time permits on the final day.
Note: Photos shown feature higher-cost designs; our workshop will focus on smaller, basic builds to align with the principles of cost efficiency and resilience.
This workshop runs concurrently with the 4-Day Resilience Convergence.
Key learning sessions will occur daily, and we encourage participants to attend as much as possible to gain the full benefit.
